President Kelly McGuire addressed the four points that were mentioned in the last newsletter sent to residents, including the slash, trash, swap programs and a community wide garage sale. He asked for input and residents seemed most interested in the slash program whereby a non-profit organization from Lake George would chip brush, scrub oak and small trees for approximately $25 per household. A question by resident Lucy McGuire about garage sales resulted in six families saying they would be interested in the garage sale which would include advertising and maps for prospective buyers. The focal point for maps and information would be the Association Park manned by Kiwanis teens.
The problem of loose dogs was brought up and President McGuire stressed that the Board has no authority over that. He did suggest first discussing the situation with the dog owners and if that fails, the animal control officers can be contacted. Resident John Mann said if the sheriff’s office is called, they will respond and contact dog owners which will avoid having animal control driving through the Ranch picking up any and all dogs they spot.
Resident Mary Ketels commented on the pine beetle and its destructiveness. She asked if there was a way an expert might address residents about the problem and possible ways to control the pest. President McGuire said he would see if someone from the Forest Service or the extension agency might make a presentation at either a homeowner’s meeting or a NEPCO meeting to which all residents are invited to attend at either venue.{tab=New Business}New Business:

The next regularly scheduled meeting will be at 1900 on Monday, 12 September 2011 at the Tri Lakes Cares building, 235 Jefferson Street in Monument.
